Saw my T yesterday and after explaining all the symptoms I’m having due to tapering off of Lithium he urged me to contact my pdoc. I emailed my pdoc and he asked me to slightly increase my dose and once stable begin tapering off much slower. I agreed and increased my dose as of yesterday.
Hopefully it will calm me down as my symptoms are like an awful mixed episode. I feel constantly on the verge of losing control. It’s getting dangerous. After telling my T my symptoms he asked how my driving is. Lol. Yeh, a bit on the wild side, but generally safe. My T smiled but I could tell he was concerned. I hate have to slow my taper but this situation is spiraling.
It’s 10 am. Not sure what I’m doing today. Pretty restless so I will probably organise my flat, and my life.
